EV = Tree hugger owners IMO. I myself am not a fan of electric cars. They have no appeal to me what so ever. They may be good for short trips to work and back but thats about it.

I live in the DC area and the beach is 160 miles from me. What would I do when the battery is getting low? Would I stop at somebodys house and say "hey mind if I use your electricity to recharge my car while I sit here for a couple hours with my thumb up my @$$ waiting for it to recharge?

EV = FAIL for an all around do everything car.

EV = daily work commute. I would be happy to drive one to work daily. I don't even drive my current daily work car for trips. The EV is for city life imo thats about it until they get better range. And in the city majority of the commute is to work.
